[Gluster-users] qemu remote insecure connections

[Joe Topjian]

Hello,

I'm having a problem getting remote servers to connect to Gluster with qemu.

I have 5 servers, 4 of which run Gluster and host a volume. The qemu user
on all 5 servers has the same uid.

storage.owner-uid and storage.owner-gid is set to that user.

In addition, server.allow-insecure is on and is also set in the
glusterd.vol file. glusterd has also been restarted (numerous times).

When attempting to create a qemu file by connecting to the same server,
everything works:

qemu at 192.168.1.11> qemu-img create gluster://192.168.1.11/volumes/v.img 1M
Formatting 'gluster://192.168.1.11/volumes/v.img', fmt=raw size=1048576
qemu at 192.168.1.11>

But when trying to do it remotely, the command hangs indefinitely:

qemu at 192.168.1.12> qemu-img create gluster://192.168.1.11/volumes/v.img 1M
Formatting 'gluster://192.168.1.11/volumes/v.img', fmt=raw size=1048576
^C

Yet when 192.168.1.12 connects to gluster://192.168.1.12, the command works
and the file shows up in the distributed volume.

Further, when turning server.allow-insecure off, I get an immediate error
no matter what the source and destination connection is:

qemu at 192.168.1.12> qemu-img create gluster://192.168.1.11/volumes/v.img 1M
Formatting 'gluster://192.168.1.11/volumes/v.img', fmt=raw size=1048576
qemu-img: Gluster connection failed for server=192.168.1.11 port=0
volume=volumes image=v.img transport=tcp
qemu-img: gluster://192.168.1.11/volumes/v.img: error while creating raw:
No data available

Does anyone have any ideas how I can have an unprivileged user connect to
remote gluster servers?

Thanks,
Joe
